Answer 1

I imagine you have auto-hide turned on if your task bar disappears when you move your cursor away from it.
Go to control panel and select menu & task bar options to change this.

Answer 2

Right click on a blank part of the task bar and select "Lock Task Bar"

Should now stay put

Answer 3

You can go for a Windows repair:

Taskbar – Move
By default, the Microsoft Windows XP taskbar, which shows buttons for each of your open windows, sits at the bottom of your screen. That’s fine if you don’t open many windows. If you have more than six or seven windows open at a time, however, the taskbar can become extremely crowded. To make more room for windows, move your taskbar to the right or left side of the screen, where it will be displayed vertically, giving you room for more than a dozen windows.

Good link. Contains full explanation with graphics.
